At Burgers to Beasts, we only recommend eliminating foods that you are allergic to. Because we don’t believe in labelling foods as “good” or “bad” – there’s no morality involved.

However, for certain health conditions – we may temporarily recommend an elimination diet. Many suffer from these symptoms for long periods without realizing the connection to food. It isn’t until a food is eliminated from the diet, that the connection with symptoms can be made. After a brief elimination period, a personalized food reintroduction is a next step. Reintroduction involves adding back one food at a time to observe whether that food causes symptoms.

Individuals are unique! So, their care should be too. Each plan is thoroughly personalized – keeping in mind your likes, dislikes, intolerances, and importantly, convenience. Whether, you are paleo, vegan, pescatarian, or vegetarian, we’ve got you covered!

We do not run bloodwork in-house. However, we do recommend a list of tests before your initial consult. This complete blood profile test will assess your overall blood and cellular health as well as the risk of disease. Once this information is collected, we can keep it on file to track changes over time.

Today, far too many diets are created solely from the perspective of weight loss. As a result, individuals tend to experience several symptoms like hair fall, acne, low energy levels, and missed periods, as a side effect. Instead, we focus on your health and let weight change be a by-product of that. That being said, we think the human body can safely lose 2-3 kgs/month sustainably.

Individual results and progress differ wildly, from person to person depending on several factors: inclusive of but not limited to the severity of the condition, medication, sleep, stress levels, movement, etc. However, typically most people witness a change in symptoms within the first few weeks of working together.

We stick to our area of expertise – which is designing stellar nutrition protocols. That being said, we make sure to customize our suggestions to support your training regimen and may make recommendations for you to switch up your exercise routine, if necessary.

No. We strongly believe that 365 days of health can’t be created in 7-, 14-, and 21-day plans. This particular holds for health issues – wherein the body takes longer to heal (symptoms like chronic gas and PMS would count too.) Importantly, this is root cause treatment – which does not act as rapidly as conventional medicine.

We understand that real life can quickly derail the best laid-out plans. Therefore, we offer a 2-4-week grace period (depending on the case) for you to redeem all your sessions.

Both programs have the same offerings. However, the in-person program offers the body composition analysis test – utilizing the InBody 270 apparatus.

While our one-time wellness consult and 1-1 nutrition coaching program entail real-time interactions with Kripa to receive hyper-personalized feedback and protocols, SHIELD is a self-paced web application – which helps you improve your health on your own time. It provides the foundational set of skills that most people can benefit from – no matter who they are, what they do, or what their health history is.

While you can sign up for SHIELD, regardless of pregnancy/existing health issues, we believe that you would benefit more from our 1-1 nutrition coaching program - which is personalized to individual needs.

Absolutely! SHIELD was designed keeping in mind the frequent-flier, the busy-bee, and everyone in between. The eating guide is super flexible and can be followed from anywhere in the world, even with limited resources. Either way, the focus remains on the weekly goals!

You have access for a total of 77 days to the SHIELD platform. However, the educational guides (which are available for download) and online forum, stay with you for life!

No! To strengthen the security of your account, we require two-factor authentication every time you log in. Once you have entered your password, a code will be emailed to your registered email. This secures your login and prevents attackers from exploiting weak credentials.

Additionally, each member only gives YOU access to the online forum – from where you can interact with other members. Importantly, as a member, you will also have your journal and e-notepad inside the platform.

Whether you are plant-based, love meat, or have food allergies or intolerances, we respect your cultural, ethical, and dietary preferences and have got them covered. The program contains flexible eating guidelines that you can customize to your preferences. Additionally, the recipes come with vegetarian, vegan, as well as non-vegetarian options. They’re suggestions – not mandates!

While we provide daily workouts (based on the principle of progressive overload,) you can most certainly follow your training plan. All you need is a part of dumbbells if you don’t have access to a gym. This is simply a suggestion for anyone looking for structure, anyone starting, and/or anyone looking for a new way to move!

Given that we’re looking at this program as a model for a sustainable life, you can drink alcohol/indulge in your favorite foods if you choose to! We don’t want you to feel burdened by the suggestions we’re making; we want you to feel excited about the possibility of change! Therefore, we will go over how you can incorporate indulgences into your lifestyle and still achieve what’s best for your body, guilt-free!

Several of our clients notice a significant non-tangible change within the first few weeks of working together. Some indicators like blood markers may take longer to heal than symptoms like energy levels and brain fog. You can find out more about what our clients have to say, here.

The truth is we don’t necessarily need supplements. We survived decades without pills and powders. However, we don’t necessarily breathe clean air, hunt for our food, get adequate sunlight, or even sleep enough. So, they’re great at filling gaps in our lifestyles.

Our take is simple – If you need them, take them – and if you don’t need them, don’t take them.

Our food-first approach recommends that you try and meet your needs naturally. But, if you struggle to obtain good quality nutrients through food – we may recommend a few supplements to help.

Importantly, we don’t partner with or promote any brands – so we are never financially incentivized to prescribe supplements. However, we may search the market to find certain supplements that are safe for consumption/third-party verified, for the best effect.

As a B2B member, you can connect with us any time via email with questions between visits or updates on your health status in response to the treatment prescribed. You should get a response within 24 hours, but usually sooner.
